Horse Health: Nitric Oxide’s Essential Role in your Horse’s Body

Nitric oxide is a simple molecule, not to be confused with nitrous oxide, (Laughing gas). Nitric Oxide is generated from the conversion of arginine to citrulline in the body and for our purposes, will be referred to as arginine-derived nitric oxide or ADNO. This process occurs in neurons, blood vessel walls, muscles and certain white blood cells. Nitric oxide is essential in cardiovascular health, fighting infections, wound healing, and overall immune system function and homeostasis. (learn more about nitric oxide)

The body continually produces nitric oxide but the natural production of nitric oxide decreases in the body with stress, infection, injury and age. Continuous nitric oxide depletion limits the body’s ability to respond in the face of injury and disease.

The exciting news is that there is a way to influence the production of nitric oxide. Giddy Up Go has the key to production of healthy levels of ADNO. Giddy Up Go's unique nutraceutical formulations are designed to target specific physiologic systems to enhance the body’s ability to respond using its own innate mechanisms. By administering low levels of arginine combined with additional amino acids and synergistic nutrients in a unique delivery system, Giddy Up Go's formulations are able to get ADNO production going where it is most needed.

Giddy Up Go's formulas provides the body with nutritional support to stimulate appropriate physiological responses to many conditions. See our Research page for more information.
